Imphal, December 28 2021:
Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) general secretary Punamrani Wangkhem has remarked that the rising incidents of poll violence has thoroughly defiled the image and meaning of democratic elections.
Punamrani, who is the intending INC candidate in Kshetrigao AC, made the statement on the sidelines of a 2-day house campaign carried out in 4/2 Porompat Muslim area on Monday and Tuesday.
She said that election plays an important role in democracy.
However, the recent incidents of poll violence in the state have rendered this democratic process meaningless, depriving the people of their right to choose their representatives.
Urging people not to let this opportunity-which comes after every 5 years to go to waste, the general secretary further urged for electing capable candidates who would help develop Kshetrigao constituency and the state.
